The state's called its sons to its side boys.
They're hoisting up the Stars and the Bars.
We must all prepare to fight,
For a cause we feel is right!
And join Jeff Davis from near and far!
They can't understand our way of life, boys!
They don't want slaves in the new territories.
The knowledge that they lack,
Is there's no cotton if there's no blacks,
And that gives us the reason to secede
Come out of the meadows and plantations!
Come away from the shores down by the sea!
Join under the flag,
With your musket and your bag!
We gotta' break ties with the north to be free!
Since Abe got elected, there ain't no choice boys!
We showed em' what we meant when Sumter fell!
And if they try to take us back,
Or come and free the blacks,
The good Lord knows we're gonna' give em' hell!
Come out of the meadows and plantations!
Come away from the shores down by the sea!
Join under the flag,
With your musket and your bag!
We gotta' break ties with the North to be free!
